Abstract:	Digital Learning Across Boundaries: Developing Changemakers is a three year Erasmus+ project involving ten schools and universities across five European countries. This research focuses on one strand that involved English and Danish partners collaborating on the theme of using technology to support physical activity, or exergaming, during designated ‘international days’. • Can digital technologies such as VR and AR help school pupils to develop changemaker attributes? • How is changemaking demonstrated in practice by pupils through the use of digital technologies? • Does technology-supported changemaking support the development of intercultural awareness? We present emerging evidence to support the use of VR and AR tools with mobile devices for I. developing empathy and intercultural awareness through collaboration and immersion in different spaces II. developing an understanding of the changemaker process through blending digital and physical learning environments
